GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY RULES

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owners manual carefully. Learn the tools applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it. 2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order. 3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on. 4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. 5. DONT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Dont use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted. 6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area. 7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys. 8. DONT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. 9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Dont force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was designed. Dont use tool for purpose not intended; for example, dont use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs. 10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. 11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. 12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. Its safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool. 13. DONT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. 15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories such as blades or adjusting guides. 16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in. 17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owners manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons. 18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.

19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. 20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed works into a blade against the direction of rotation of the blade only.

21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

Dont

22. PROPER GROUNDING. This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. 23. EXTENSION CORDS. Use only three-wire extension cords which have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles which accept the tools plug. Replace or repair damaged or worn cord immediately. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

GROU N DING INSTRUCTI0NS

ALL GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED TOOLS: In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current t o reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped w i t h an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance w i t h all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fii the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor w i t h insulation having an outer surface that is green w i t h or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor t o a live terminal. Check w i t h a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as t o whether the tool is properly grounded. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts: This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B and C, may be used to connect this plug t o a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc. extending from the adapter must be connected t o a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TABLE SAW 1. ALWAYS use guard, spreader and anti-kickback fingers on all "thru-sawing" operations. Thru-sawing operations are those when the blade cuts completely through the work piece as in ripping or cross cutting. 2. ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the miter gage or fence. 3. ALWAYS use a push stick for ripping narrow stock. Refer t o ripping applications in instruction manual where push stick is covered in detail. 4 NEVER perform any operation "free-hand" which means using your hands . t o support or guide the work piece. Always use either the fence or the miter gauge t o position and guide the work. 5. NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line w i t h the path of the saw blade. 6. NEVER reach behind or over the cutting tool with either hand for any reason. 7. MOVE the rip fence out of the way when cross cutting. 8. NEVER use the fence as a cut-off gauge when cross cutting. 9. NEVER attempt t o free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw OFF. IO. PROVIDE adequate support t o the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces. 11. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward you) by keeping blade sharp, keeping rip fence parallel t o the saw blade, keeping spreader and antikickback fingers and guard in place and operating, by not releasing work before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade, and by not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge t o guide along the fence. 12. AVOID awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand t o move into the cutting tool. 13. Attach this tool w i t h screws either t o the optional stand or t o a steady stand or bench w i t h good chip ejection. 1 . Cutting wood w i t h concrete or sand on it, or containing old nails, not only 4 dulls the saw blade; the blade may be damaged and even break, causing a serious injury. Clean all stock of nails and adhering material beforehand. 15. Keep your hands away from the line of cut. Be especially careful w i t h bevel cuts.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
The tool is shipped from the factory with the saw blade and safety guide not in the installed condition. Assemble as follows. CAUTION Always unplug the tool before assembly.

INSTALLING SAW BLADE Remove the center cover on the table. Grip the outer flange with wrench 22; loosen the hex nut with wrench 19 and remove the outer flange. (See arrows in photo).

Assemble the inner flange, blade, outer flange and hex nut onto the arbor, making sure the teeth of the blade are pointing down a t the front of the table.

Outer flange

CAUTIONS: Keep the flange surface clean of dirt or other adhering matter; it could cause blade slippage. Be sure that the blade is installed so that the teeth are aligned in the cutting (turning) direction. To secure the blade in place, attach wrench 22 to outer flange, then tighten hex nut with wrench 19.

ATTENTION:

Be sure to grip hex nut carefully with the wrench. A serious injury can be sustained, if your grip should slip, the wrench come off the nut, and your hand strike the sharp blade edges.

The spreader installing location is factoryadjusted. INSTALLING BLADE GUARD The antikick devicehpreader on the safety guide fits in between the safety guide installation portion and the retainer plate behind the saw blade on the back side of the table.

Tighten only temporarily the hex socket head bolt on the safety guide installing portion. Check to be sure that the saw blade and spreader are on a straight line. If they are not, use one or more of the adjust washers provided on either side to obtain the saw bladehpreader alignment.

NOTE : If the blade and spreader are not aligned properly, a dangerous pinch can result when contact i s made with the materials. MAKE SURE THEY ARE PROPERLY ALIGNED. There must be a clearance of 12.7 mm (1/2") or less between the spreader and the blade teeth. Adjust the spreader accordingly before securing tightly the hex socket head bolt. Attach the center cover on the table, then check to see that the safety guide works smooth.

INSTALLATION Secure the table saw so that it will not move during operation. Bolt or screw the cabinet to a bench (see 4 hole's in the base) or secure legs with screws. Leave more than 30 cm (12") clearance between the table and a wall to allow chip ejection.

CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT The cutting depth is obtained by raising or lowering the blade with the elevating knob; Move left to lower, right to raise it. The cutting depth indicator tells you the depth of cut by the arrow pointer. NOTE: Use a shallow depth setting when cutting thin materials in order to obtain a cleaner cut.

FOR BEVEL CUTS Raise the lock lever for bevel cuts to release it, then swing the blade with the elevating knob until it reaches the desired angle from zero to 45 degrees. The bevel is indicated by the arrow pointer. After the desired angle setting i s reached, then lock the lock lever by pressing down firmly t o secure in place.
WARNING: The lock lever must be secured very firmly or operation can be very dangerous.

STOPPER ADJUSTMENT Loosen the stopper hex socket head bolt and align the arrow pointer to zero and 45 degrees. Then slide the stopper and secure the stopper in place carefully with the hex socket head bolt.

RIP FENCE ADJUSTMENT Adjust the rip fence whenever it moves only with difficulty, sticks, or i s too loose. Leave the ruler-attaching hex bolt and underplate hex bolt in the semi-secured condition. Then install the rip fence on table and secure lock knob when the rip fence is parallel with the blade. Now secure the ruler-attaching hex bolt carefully.

Bring the ruler underplate flush up against the rail inside, then fasten the hex bolt attaching the underplate very securely.

CUTTING OPERATIONS
To assure safe cutting operations, familiarize yourself thoroughly with the following safety rules and the cautions indicated a t the beginning. 1. switch on the saw only after making sure that nothing (wood, material, etc.) is contacting the saw blade. 2. Wait until the blade attains top speed before feeding the material. 3. Feed as slow as possible when cutting hard material. 4. Avoid abrupt, fast feeds. 5. Do not bend or twist material while feeding. 6. Never perform any operation "free-hand" using only your hands to support or guide the workpiece. Use either the rip fence or the miter gauge to position or guide work a t all times. 7. Always replace the blade guard with spreader after removing them for some reason. 8. Do not stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. 9. Never place your fingers or hand in the path of the sawblade, dado head or other cutting tool. 10. Switch off saw immediately and disconnect if the blade stops or stalls. 11. Do not reach over or behind the moving blade for any reason. 12. Do not remove cut-off material while the saw i s running. Do not hold, touch or remove free end until blade has stopped. 13. Do not attempt to remove scraps or small pieces of wood by hand from between guard/blade. First, switch off, then use a stick to remove them. 14. Never wear gloves when operating the tool.
WORK HELPERS Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of "work helpers."Use them to make safe, sure cuts without the need for the operator to contact the blade with any part of the bodv.
Push Stick A push stick can be easily made from a piece of plywood 3/4" to 1" thick.

(38mml

Cut out the hatched area on the stick and smooth edges with a file. H dimension should be less than 1/2" (12.7 mm) so as to be thinner than workpiece.
11

Push Block Use a 3/4" piece of plywood.

h 12'

W
IC

Handle should be in center of plywood piece. Fasten with glue and wood screws as shown. Small piece (3/8"x 5/16" x 2") of wood must always be glued to plywood t o keep saw blade from dulling if operator cuts into push block by mistake. (Never use nails in push block .) Auxiliary Fence Make auxiliary fence from 3/8" and 3/4" plywood pieces.

1-1 /2"

Faceledge parallel

Fasten with glue and wood screw.

Wood Facing (Rip Fence) A wood facing should be used for operations when blade comes close to fence. Wood facing for rip fence should be same size as fence. Make sure bottom of facing is flush with table surface.

12

Auxiliary Wood Facing (Miter Gauge) To prevent a long board from wobbling, fit the miter gauge with an auxiliary fence board. Fasten with boltdnuts after drilling holes, but fasteners must not protrude from the face board,

Featherboard The diagram shown illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. It should be made from a straight piece of wood thats free of knots or cracks.

Miter Gauge Use the miter gauge for the 4 types of cutting shown below.

CROSS C U T T I N G

MITERING

BEVEL CUTTING

COMPOUND M I T E R I N G ( A N G L E S )

CAUT IONS 1. Remove the rip fence from the table. 2. Secure the knob on miter gauge carefully. 3. Avoid creep of workpiece and gauge by firm workholding arrangement, especially when cutting a t an angle. 4. When cutting long or large workpieces, always use a work support in side.
13

Use of Miter Gauge Slide the miter gauge into the thick grooves in the table. Loosen the knob on the gauge 0) and align to desired angle (0 to 6'. Bring stock flush up against fence and feed gently forward into the blade.

Rip Fence The rip fence is used for ripping, bevel ripping and rabbeting operations.
CAUTIONS 1. Remove miter gauge from table. 2. Secure the adjusting knob tightly on the fence. 3. Always use a push block or stick when there is a danger that your fingers (hand) will come close to the blade. 4. Use a work support in back whenever cutting long or large workpieces. 5. Fence should be parallel with the blade a t all times. 6 . Spreader should be parallel with the saw blade. 7. I s the anti-kickback device in good working operation?

Use of Rip Fence The rip fence permits repetitive cuts of the same width or parallel cuts, as desired. Loosen the lock knob on the rip fence and insert the rail slot for it in the table. Then align the arrow on the rip fence with the scale on the table in terms of the desired cutting width. Now tighten the lock knob on the rip fence to hold it in place.

14

Ripping Ripping i s the lengthwise cutting of a board. *When ripping stock over 6 wide: Feed the work forward with the hand on the rip fence side. Use the other hand t o hold the work in position against the rip fence.
*When ripping stock 2-1/2 - 6 wide: Always use a push stick for this type of workpiece.

*When ripping stock less than 2-1/2 wide: The push stick will strike the guard, so an auxiliary fence and push block must be used. Clamp auxiliary fence to rip fence in two locations.

When workpiece reaches position 1 inside the table, rest push block on it and feed through until cut is completed.

15

Featherboards A "featherboard" or "fingerboard" is a jig made from a board cut off a t an angle of 60 degrees. A series of parallel cuts i s made part way through the board. Board should be a straight piece with no knots or cracks (see photo). Featherboards should be used for any operation in which workpiece i s not sawed all the way through (and the saw blade guard i s therefore removed.). Hold the featherboard as a sort of "spring stick" horizontal hold down to press the work firmly against the fence during the pass. Use of featherboard 1. Switch off tool before operation. 2. Set featherboard with clamps so as to hold stock firmly against workpiece. Be sure of positive attachment. 3. "Fingers" prevent work from being thrown back. Perform a trial to be sure they will stop a kickback.
Do not use featherboards for non-thrusawing operations with which the miter gauge is employed. Re-install blade guard whenever the featherboard work is finished.
"C clamps'
Feafherboard

Rabbeting Rabbeting i s the cutting away of a section from the corner of the workpiece. It can be done across the end or the entire length of the stock. The blade guard should be removed to perform rabbet cuts which do not go all the way through the workpiece.
How to perform rabbeting 1. Remove blade guard. 2. Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence for cuts that run the length of the stock. Facing should be as high as the workpiece i s wide. Adjust fence and blade to desired dimensions. 3. First cut: Hold board flat on table as in ordinary ripping.
4. Second cut: Set workpiece on i t s edge. (Use featherboards, push stick, push block and so on, using precautions, safety rules and guidelines for ripping or related work.) 5. For end-type rabbeting, if the workpiece i s less than 10-1/2" wide, rest the wood flat on the table against the miter gauge (with wood facing). The rip fence should not be used. 6.After rabbeting i s completed, immediately re-install the blade guard as before.

:

518" arbor hole, 6 pcs.

Various combinations of these cutters are used to cut grooves from 118" to 1/2" for use in making joints, tenoning, grooving, etc. Dado outer flange (Part No. 224263-6) When cutting groove 5/16", 3/8". 7/16" or 1/2", use this dado outer flange.

Table insert (Part No. 342787-1) When cutting grooves 1/4", 5/16", 318". 7/16", 112" use this table insert instead of the standard table insert.

22

To install the dado head set, proceed as follows:

1 Turn the tool off and unplug it before installing.

2 Remove the blade guard with the spreader.

3 Install the dado head s e t with the teeth pointing down a t the front of the table.

4 ,

Use the chart below to select the proper cutters to obtain the various cutting widths.

CAUTION : The outer flange or the dado outer flange must be used for each cut width. The hex nut alone must not be used to secure the dado on to the spindle.

23

NOTE : When widths slightly greater than the above are required, fit the paper washers in between the inside and outside cutters to adjust the width.
@Arrange the cutters so that the tips of the inside cutters are positioned a t the gullets of the outside cutter. When more than one inside cutter is used, space the tips of the inside cutters equidistantly in relation to one another. Poorly spaced cutters may cause vibration and noise.

When ins slling twooutside cutters without any inside cutter, be sure that the cutter tips do not face each other.

@While tightening the hex nut, be careful to maintain the even spacing between the tips of the inside cutters.

0Rotate the dado head one turn by hand to make sure that it does not contact anything
before operation.

24

CAUTION : .Only the Makita dado head set (Part No. 191543-4) should be used with Makita table saw Model 2708. .After dadoing, always replace the blade guard with the spreader back in i t s original position on the table saw. 0 Never attempt bevel cuts when dadoing.
0
0

Never dado if there is vibration (flutter) or a strange noise. Never attempt dados in other than wood. When using a dado head set, the depth of cut is not indicated by the pointer. (See the cutting depth adjustment section.) To know the depth of cut, you must measure it with a ruler. Do not use the dado s e t for cut-offs. Feed work slowly, especially when cutting deep or wide grooves or dados. Fast or abrupt feeds can be dangerous.

*Use a pushstick. When the dado head i s hidden from view while cutting, your hands should never be on top of the stock.
* A very dangerous throwback can result if the wood becomes stuck and you try to remove it by pulling toward you. Always stop the tool and wait for dado head to come to a complete stop. Then simply withdraw the wood.
